5AIS, 5AIV, 5AIX - PubMed Abstract:
Human H-PGDS has shown promise as a potential target for anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Here we describe the discovery of a novel class of indole inhibitors, identified through focused screening of 42,000 compounds and evaluated using a series of hit validation assays that included fluorescence polarization binding, 1D NMR, ITC and chromogenic enzymatic assays. Compounds with low nanomolar potency, favorable physico-chemical properties and inhibitory activity in human mast cells have been identified. In addition, our studies suggest that the active site of hH-PGDS can accommodate larger structural diversity than previously thought, such as the introduction of polar groups in the inner part of the binding pocket.
